This is quite an interesting gallery to visit, with very unique works of art, performed by different artists. There are even partnerships between USA and Cuba. Worth to have a look, and you can see the artists working. Free entrance.

It took me 3 years, but I finally made it to this destination! And I wasn't disappointed. Each handmade book is absolutely beautiful. Watching the artists create the books is fascinating. I only wish I had more room in my suitcase. Reasonably priced. I couldn't leave without making a purchase.

This park sits on to of a hill. It has the Moserrate Chapel and a great view on one side of the whole city of Matanzas, the blue bay and on the other side, the Yumjri Valley. Great place to just relax a get away from the noise of the city. I highly recommend a visit when visiting Matanzas. You can reach it by Taxi and you can negotiate for the taxi to come back to pick you up at a certain hour. It should not cost any more than 4.00 CUC each way. 1 CUC = 1 US Dollar
